Prayer warriors out there? Update

Bill in Oregon · Post by **Bill in Oregon** » Fri Dec 19, 2025 9:37 pm

My granddaughter Harper Elizabeth, on this Earth but 13 days, is having severe liver/gallbladder issues that may require urgent surgery, and possibly a liver transplant. My daughter and son-in-law are consulting all the specialists they can near Iowa State University in Ames, but may turn soon to the Mayo Clinic. If anyone has a good thought or prayer to spare for Harper, this worthless sinner would be so very deeply indebted to you. Thank you in advance. Makes for a tough Christmas. Makes every other thing seem so very small.

Thanks again fellas. If it is indeed not biliary atresia, she may not need surgical intervention. I believe your intercessory prayers are working. Again, thank you.

Prayers up for sure - a KID should NEVER have to suffer illness. That's just wrong. Hoping God sees fit to correct that issue.

Should know more this week friends. Thank you.

Bill in Oregon · Post by **Bill in Oregon** » Sat Jan 03, 2026 7:40 pm

The most recent labs from Harper are a mixed bag, and she may still be at risk of biliary atresia, which will require surgical intervention. Her parents are now trying to go to the next level of specialists beyond Des Moines, as it turns out the Mayo Clinic is not known for the pediatric specialties Harper needs. All prayers and good thoughts sent to Iowa deeply appreciated.
